As with any type of stress, eco-anxiety can lead to lead to burnout, avoidance, or a disturbance of daily functioning. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eGeneration Dread\u003c\/i\u003e, Britt Wray seamlessly merges scientific knowledge with emotional insight to show how these intense feelings are a healthy response to the troubled state of the world. The first crucial step toward becoming an engaged steward of the planet is connecting with our climate emotions, seeing them as a sign of humanity, and learning how to live with them. We have to face and value eco-anxiety, Wray argues, before we can conquer the deeply ingrained, widespread reactions of denial and disavowal that have led humanity to this alarming period of ecological decline. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIt's not a level playing field when it comes to our vulnerability to the climate crisis, she notes, but as the situation worsens, we are all on the field--and unlocking deep stores of compassion and care is more important than ever. Weaving in insights from climate-aware therapists, critical perspectives on race and privilege in this crisis, ideas about the future of mental health innovation, and creative coping strategies, \u003ci\u003eGeneration Dread\u003c\/i\u003e brilliantly illuminates how we can learn from the past, from our own emotions, and from each other to survive--and even thrive--in a changing world.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"27th Letter Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67390934155309,"sku":"19629","price":5.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0673\/3588\/0749\/files\/original_b66d70a5-f3a8-41dd-ae1e-05040e96d5d2.jpg?v=1787349518","url":"https:\/\/27thletterbooks.com\/products\/generation-dread-finding-purpose-in-an-age-of-climate-crisis","provider":"27th Letter Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
